It takes like five minutes before these guys start complaining about the “wokercist” and pivoting into Disney hiring a non white person for snow White.
Honestly, I can’t stand watching their videos anymore, it’s just endless boring takes about everything.
The wokercist comment was mike making fun of people who keep complaining about it. He then goes on explaining why the casting happens. I know he does go off track a lot in reviews lately but this seemed related to it.
My dude, you wooshed so hard.
Are you joking or did they really hire a non white person for Snow-white?
On the other hand, I can’t wait for the Muhammed Ali movie with Sylvester Stallone.
Fictional vs nonfictional….bad example
All right, Black Panther by Tom Cruise then.
Oh you poor poor white guy. How will you survive this injustice? Lemme put this into perspective. You’re talking about taking away a black superhero and replacing them with a white actor. Here’s the point. How many superhero movies star black people as the leads? I’ll give you a hint, it’s drastically less than half.
Let me now reframe this a bit better for you in the future. Correct, they shouldn’t just recast roles to show their support for under represented communities in pre-existing properties. They should be writing new exciting, engaging stories around those communities and making them just as mainstream as the older properties. That’s a much better argument that doesn’t make you sound like a snowflake closet racist and gets offended by the littlest shit.
Talking about snowflakes…
But I’m with you in writing new properties. And I wouldn’t go to the cinema to see a white actor as Black Panther.
